In the depths of the French Guianese rainforest, there still remain unusual groups of indigenous(土著的) people. Surprisingly, these people live largely by their own laws and their own social customs. And yet, people in this area are in fact French citizens because it has been a colony(殖民地) of the French Republic since 1946. In theory, they should live by the French law is often ignored or unknown, thus making them into an interesting area of “lawlessness” in the world.
在法属圭亚那雨林的深处，仍然存在着一些不同寻常的土著人群。令人惊讶的是，这些人大多遵循自己的法律和社交习俗生活。然而，这个地区的居民实际上是法国公民，因为它自1946年以来一直是法兰西共和国的殖民地。理论上，他们应该遵守法国法律，但实际上这些法律常常被忽视或不为人所知，因此使他们成为世界上一个有趣的“无法无天”的地区。

The lives of these people have finally been recorded thanks to the effects of a Frenchman form Paris called Gin. Gin spent five months in early 2015 exploring the most remote corners of this area, which sits on the edge of the Amazon rainforest, with half its population of only 250,000 living in its capital, Cayenne.
多亏了一位名叫金的巴黎法国人的影响，这些人的生活终于被记录下来。金在2015年初花了五个月的时间探索这个位于亚马逊雨林边缘、一半人口仅25万且生活在其首府卡宴的地区最偏远的角落。

“I have a special love for the French Guianese people. I have worked there on and off for almost ten years,” says Gin. “I’ve been able to keep firm friendships with them. Thus I have been allowed to gain access to their living environment. I don’t see it as a lawless land. But rather I see it as an area of freedom.”
“我对法属圭亚那人民有着特殊的爱。我已经在那里断断续续地工作了将近十年，”金说。“我已经能够与他们建立起牢固的友谊。因此，我被允许进入他们的生活环境。我不认为这是一个无法无天的地方。相反，我认为这是一个自由的领域。”

“I wanted to show the audience a photographic record touching upon the uncivilized life,” continues Gin. “I prefer to work in black and white, which allows me to show different specific worlds more clearly.”
“我想向观众展示一个关于未开化生活的摄影记录，”金继续说。“我更喜欢用黑白摄影，这让我能够更清晰地展示不同的特定世界。”

His black-and-white pictures present a world almost lost in time. These pictures show people seemingly pushed into a world that they were unprepared for. These local citizens now have to balance their traditional self-supporting hunting lifestyle with the lifestyle offered by the modern French Republic, which brings with it not only necessary state welfare, but also alcoholism, betrayal and even suicide.
他的黑白照片展示了一个几乎被时间遗忘的世界。这些照片展示了人们似乎被推进了一个他们没有准备好的世界。这些当地居民现在必须在传统的自给自足的狩猎生活方式与现代法兰西共和国提供的生活方式之间找到平衡，后者不仅带来了必要的国家福利，还有酗酒、背叛甚至自杀等问题。
